VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN THE AC IS ENGAGED ON THE VEHICLE AND I ATTEMPT TO SLOW TO A STOP. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL SURGE IN POWER PRIOR TO STOPPING, RESULTING IN A SURGE OF DISTANCE OCCASIONALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH THROUGH THE AMOUNT OF APPLIED BRAKING. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CROSS INTO CROSSWALKS OR TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN DRIVE AND STOP AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE IDLE RPM DROPS LOW 6 OUT OF 10 TIMES. THE LOWEST I EXPERIENCED WAS ~300 RPM AND THE TRUCK SHAKES. THERE WERE TIMES IT DROPPED TO ~400 RPM, THE TRUCK DID NOT SHAKE. THING IS, IT ONLY DROPS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND GO BACK UP TO 625-675 RANGE. THEN I TAKE OFF, TRUCK DRIVES NORMAL. NOTE THAT AC IS ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IF NOT HEAVY ON BRAKES IT WILL PULL THROUGH THEM AT A COMPLETE STOP.

SEATS
THE DRIVER SEAT HAS BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE SEAT FRAME IN ONLY 2 YEARS. THE SAME THING APPEARS TO BE STARTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL. THE CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN A SUDDEN STOP. SEAT SEEMS TO HAVE COME LOOSE AND PUSHED SEAT CUSHION TOWARDS THE CONSOLE. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN DURING ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT AND APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND SHOULD ADDRESSED BEFORE SOME IS HURT OR FATALLY INJURED.

ENGINE
WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE THE TURN, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WHICH HAD TO SLOW DOWN ABRUPTLY TO AVOID COLLISION. THERE WAS AMPLE SPACE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TURN MANEUVER TO COMPLY WITH TRAFFIC LAW. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 3 SECONDS FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE APPLICATION OF POWER WAS SLUGGISH AT BEST. DURING THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE ROLLED SLOWLY ACROSS THE LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR DID NOT CAUSE A RESPONSE BY THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAD COASTED NEARLY ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE THERE WAS SUFFICIENT POWER TO ACCELERATE.

STEERING
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW. I HAVE A CLUNKING AND LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING. IT STARTED AROUND 14,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. THE LAST TIME THE MECHANIC ROAD WITH ME AT 20430 MILES AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER WHEN I PICKED UP THE TRUCK, THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME IT WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC FOR THE TRUCK TO CLUNK AND BE LOOSE. I THEN MADE A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT TO NISSAN CORPORATE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL TO BE LOOSE, AND CLUNK. WHILE DRIVING IN LESS THAN PERFECT CONDITIONS 6/28/2019 INTERSTATE 40 GOING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. I WAS PULLING A 20 FOOT GOOSENECK TRAILER TOTALING ABOUT 6,000 POUNDS. I HAD THE CRUISE SET AT 45 MPH. I HAVE NOT HAD A TICKET IN 25 YEARS. THIS EXTRA WEIGHT AND THE CURVY ROUGH ROADS CAUSED THE LOOSE DRIVING TO BE A REAL PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MANY POST ALSO ON THE TITAN XD FORUM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ERROR CODE P0527. FAN SPEED SENSOR. WHEN A/C IS ON AND THIS SENSOR FAILS, ENGINE GOES INTO HIGH RPM TOO INCORRECTLY COOL OFF MOTOR/TRANS. WHEN ACCELERATING, VEHICLE PERFORMS POORLY (BARELY MOVES). THIS HAPPENED WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO AND FROM OUR DESTINATION AND OF COURSE WHILE DRIVING. DRIVER IS LEFT IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION AS YOU ACCELERATE TRUCK BARELY MOVES ALL DUE TO A BAD SENSOR. SENSOR TELLS VEHICLE ITS OVERHEATING WHICH ISN'T THE CASE AS TEMPERATURE GAUGE / RANGE IS NORMAL. WOULD HAVE A BETTER DESIGN IF A) A SECOND LEVEL VERIFICATION OCCURRED COMPARING TRUCK TEMP BEFORE ENTERING SAFE (LIMP) MODE AND 2)ERROR CODE APPEARED ON DASH INFORMING THE DRIVER AND DEALER OF THE ISSUE. IF CODE HAD APPEARED ON DASH, DEALER COULD HAVE LOOKED UP CODE WHEN I CALLED AND SIMPLY STATED "TURN OF A/C TO RESUME TO NORMAL DRIVING". DEALER WAS BAFFLED UPON ARRIVAL WITH NO PRIOR REPORTS AND WITH NO INDICATION ON WHERE TO START TROUBLESHOOTING THIS ISSUE. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED. WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AWFUL SITUATION IN AREAS WHERE NO CELL COVERAGE EXISTS AND 125 MILES FROM HOME. LUCKILY WE HAD PLANNED TO RIDE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE THAT DAY OR THIS ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. END USERS SHOULD HAVE A BOOKLET OF ERROR CODES AND POSSIBLE REMEDIES. TURNING OFF THE A/C WAS THE SOLUTION AND AN END USER QUICK FIX VS. LEAVING THE DRIVER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TRUCK HAS ONLY 11,200 MILES AND IS A 2017 MODEL.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
TRAVELING AT 25-30 MPH ON A DRY, GRASS COVERED ROAD, APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, NO BRAKING OCCURRED; I THEN PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, I FELT THE ABS PULSATING, BEGAN TO HEAR A "CLUNKING" SOUND AND FEEL A CLICKING IN MY BRAKE PEDAL MATCHING THE TIMING OF THE CLUNKING SOUND. SINCE THE BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING I THEN TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE TRUCK, IT DID NOT RESPOND; I THEN TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, NO RESPONSE. THE TRUCK CONTINUED STRAIGHT INTO A TREE, HEAD ON COLLISION. NOT WATCHING THE SPEED I ASSUME I WAS DOING 20-25MPH WHEN THE TRUCK HIT THE TREE, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AFTER THE COLLISION, WHEN PREPARING FOR THE TOW, IT WAS OBSERVED THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS DISCONNECTED AT MID-WAY OF THE TRUCK, NOT SNAPPED, JUST OFF. THIS SEEMED A STRANGE RESULT WITH A HEAD-ON COLLISION; THE TOW DRIVER MADE THE SAME OBSERVATION. *DT *DT*JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING. THEN IT REDUCES MY TITAN TO 10MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30MPH BOTH TIMES. THE TRACTION LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND LET MY CAR SIT IDLE. USUALLY WHEN THAT HAPPENS ALL THE LIGHT APPEAR. I'LL TURN IT OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS WILL DISAPPEAR EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME THIS EVER HAPPENED WAS WHEN WE WERE SITTING IDLE IN A PARKING LOT AND AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T EVEN GO ANYWHERE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WILL LOCK. YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY, PUSHING ANY BUTTONS, USING THE FOB, NOR CAN YOU UNLOCK IT FROM THE INSIDE. YOU MUST USE THE MASTER BUTTON ON THE DRIVERS DOOR AND IN DOING SO YOU MUST LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS DOZENS OF TIMES AND ONLY THEN IT MAY WORK THE REAR DOOR. YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOCK THE DOOR FOR THIS TO OCCUR. THE DOOR WILL LOCK ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE CAN BE UNLOCKED, SITTING FOR A DAY, AND I CAN GO OUT TO USE THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR DOOR WILL BE LOCKED. YOU CAN BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR DOOR WILL SIMPLY LOCK ITSELF. IF YOU LOCK THE VEHICLE (AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HOW YOU DO IT) THE REAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS. MY CONCERN IS THAT WITH A REAR PASSENGER (USUALLY A CHILD) AND WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE LOCKING DOOR. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF FIRE WERE INVOLVED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I CAN'T READ THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SCREEN WHILE DRIVING IN DAYLIGHT BRIGHTER THAN HEAVY OVERCAST. THIS IS WITHOUT SUNGLASSES. ADDING SUNGLASSES MAKES IT WORSE. I MUST LEAN FORWARD AND SHIELD THE SCREEN, AND THEN SQUINT TO READ THE DATA DISPLAYED. I KNOW ONE SHOULD PULL OFF THE ROAD WHEN A WARNING CHIME AND MESSAGE APPEAR, BUT YOU KNOW HOW HUMAN NATURE IS. NISSAN SAYS IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT IS FOR ME.

WHEELS
MY TITAN CAME WITH 20" CHROME WHEELS BUT WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK I ADDED A NISSAN APPROVED LIFT KIT AND TIRES/WHEELS. THE DEALER DID NOT RETURN ANY OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT YESTERDAY I HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BLOW OUT THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE SIDE WALL LUCKILY I COULD GET OFF THE INTERSTATE WELL SINCE I ADDED THE LIFT AND TIRES AND DID NOT GET THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT BACK THE LUGS DO NOT FIT THE SPARE TIRE SO MY TRUCK HAD TO BE LIMPED IN THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DO NOT GIVE BACK THE ORIGINAL LUGS AND ARE NOT CONCERNED THAT THIS SPARE TIRE COULD EASILY COME OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING DOWN INTERSTATE 20/59 WHEN THIS HAPPENED

POWER TRAIN
LOUD RATTLE/GRIND/CHATTER FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA THAT IS CLEARLY HEARD FROM INSIDE THE CABIN DURING UP AND DOWN SHIFTS AT RANDOM TIMES. MOST COMMONLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE IS BEING USED AT HIGH RPM UP TO 40 MPH THEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED ALLOWING THE 4-5 AND 5-6 SHIFT TO OCCUR AT LIGHT LOAD. THE GRIND IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON THE 4-5 UP-SHIFT. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, TOWING, OR UNLOADED. SOME FACTS: RATTLES IN ALMOST ANY GEAR. HEARD FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRANNY AREA. HAPPENS WHEN GOING FROM A HIGH RPM SITUATION TO A LOW RPM SITUATION. DOES IT IN BOTH REGULAR AND TOW MODES. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS HOT. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING (NOT REVVING IN NEUTRAL). HAPPENS BOTH WHEN I DRIVE OR MY SPOUSE DRIVES. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE THROTTLE IS PARTIAL OR LESS THAN HALF WAY. SOME SHIFTS ARE VERY HARD AND SOME SHIFTS ARE VERY SOFT. THE NOISE COMES AND GOES AND CAN BE VERY LOUD OR VERY QUIET. IT COINCIDES EXACTLY WHEN THE SHIFT OCCURS. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SLIPPING. THE NOISE IS ABNORMAL AS I DROVE OTHER IDENTICAL VEHICLES ON THE DEALER LOT AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ATTACHED IS THE ENTIRE SAGA WITH NISSAN AND AT PRESENT NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO DO NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW 500 MILES.
